Salmon Burgers

Now that the Spring weather is here and we have some nicer days, alot of you may think of burgers. This healthy recipe gives you just that plus a dose of Omega-3s to help with your healthy eating lifestyle!!

Ingredients:
1 pound wild salmon fillet, skinned
2 tablespoons finely chopped red onion or scallion
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
1/2 teaspoon finely chopped peeled fresh ginger
1/4 teaspoon kosher or sea salt
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, or canola oil

Directions:
1. Chop salmon using quick, even, straight-up-and-down motions
until you have roughly 1/4-inch pieces.

2. Transfer to large bowl and gently stir in onion/scallion, cilantro,
ginger, salt and pepper, being careful not to over-mix.

3. Divide the mixture into 4 patties, about 1 inch thick. Chill in the
refrigerator for at least 20 minutes (or up to 2 hours) before
cooking.
 
4. Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the
burgers and cook until browned on both sides and just cooked
through, 4 to 6 minutes total.

Enjoy!
